Math Activities/Crafts for Kids

As mentioned in previous activities, learning comes through the senses. The brain processes all this information. If we gain knowledge using a different method, we are not learning. We only memorize for a while. Eventually, we will forget this information since it didn't go through an awareness process.

We know that our children have a specific mindset until they are six years old. Since mathematics is abstract, it will be challenging for them to understand everything we want to explain. That is why we must generate experiential learning in our kids.

This counting games for preschoolers activity is inspired by Montessori's methodology since with it, we want the kids to have the opportunity to feel the objects using their hands. In this case, the numbers in a concrete way, generating significant learning, turning all abstract knowledge into a knowledge of reality.

Through this counting games for preschoolers activity, the children will have a broader concept of numbers. They will associate the number of hoses with each number's value. The fewer hoses they see, the lower the denomination of the assigned number or, the more hoses, the greater the number's denomination.
